Chapter 1267 - 1265: Loss of Image (9)
Leaving was certainly not an option—the unexpected change in front of him had successfully turned Miss Winslow into an intriguing case.
In Fu Qian’s view, figuring out the cause was potentially even more meaningful than temporarily setting aside his mission and heading to The Sect to investigate.
After all, coincidentally enough, even amidst these new changes, he still couldn’t sense any trace of curse contamination on Jane.
Though Eternal Clarity Mind was temporarily unusable, this distinct characteristic strongly suggested a connection to the decree.
Therefore, not only was leaving out of the question, but the next step was to confirm in full detail what exactly had happened to her during this time.
However, guidance requires finesse—you must have a clear understanding of what your target needs.
Based on Natalie’s disclosure earlier, the reason the Winslow family invited him this time was quite clear—the changes in their daughter had made them worry about contamination, and before they were forced to face the cold and unfeeling Cult Hunters, they wanted to find a way to address it privately.
So they sought out someone like him, a medical professional operating in a gray area.
To them, the best outcome would be diagnosing a definite, mundane illness, treating Jane accordingly, and curing her.
The next best outcome would be confirming contamination of the Transcendent kind but discovering a way to address it discreetly, without angering the Hunters.
This explained why Winslow reacted so strongly after he diagnosed Jane as being completely fine earlier.
